Coaching Program Reflection

Improved Essays
There are many programs in education that focus in providing different teaching approaches that are intended to lead to greater student achievement and teacher success. In addition, teachers have to increase their knowledge and professional growth by taking classes on-line, communicating with other professionals and attending workshops in schools or universities. There are many goals that I have accomplished in this program and I can assure that I have acquired positive results from every single goal. Personally, I feel that I still need to work on some other areas of need such as how to communicate effectively with teachers and students. The outcome of each goal made me reflect on what I need to change as an educator and as a coach mainly …show more content…
In addition, learning through cultural diversity will be enhanced by designing new curriculum, instruction and assessment to increase student achievement. Enhancing the development of new teachers through coaching programs is also another way to support positive social change in my educational setting. The success or failure of a coaching program hinges on the coach’s ability to communicate clearly, build relationships, and support fellow teachers (Knight, 2008). I believe all the actual and future learning in this course may help me support positive social change in my community by establishing communications with parents, address new issues that are affecting student learning, and explain the purpose of the visit. According to Doctor (2014), educator must let the community know the purpose of engaging the community and must have clarity about its own purpose, goals and reasons to make the positive social change. I am also planning to implement all the strategies acquired in this course when discussing issues with the community. For instance, I learned about been respectful to other individuals, listen to their opinions and implement reciprocity. To engage a community for a change, the educator must listen carefully to all opinions, be ready to address their questions in a positive way and invite them to participate and feel they have a place at the table (Doctor, L, 2014). Taking these classes transformed me into an educator that wants to make a positive social change applying what I have learned in research, mentoring, coaching, and collaborating with colleagues. I am also planning to create a positive social change in the community and seek new ways to improve the education of all students because my job is to find different paths

    My goal is to provide all learners the support they need to access the curriculum. I truly believe that we have some phenomenal teachers in our district that can mentor others. I think we need to capitalize on the skills in our district. I think that it would engage other teachers to learn from their peers and possibly open the door for them to try something new that they normally wouldn’t. In addition to providing teachers with meaningful professional development to improve their teaching practices, I would like to push the schools in our district to engage more with the community.…

    Race Relations In America

    Race relations in America have been ongoing since its inception. The concept of marginalizing people is the same; there was a shift from Native Americans to African-Americans to Hispanics and other English Language Learners. In the case of Lau v. Nichols, 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to apply Civil Rights to students with limited English-proficiency who choose to migrate to America (Shokraii & Youssef,1998). There is a problem in teacher awareness or use of strategies that can be used to positively impact student learning. It negatively impacts some teachers’ ability to provide a quality education to students of all ethnic groups who enter their classes.…

    Beginning with the premise that clients have “strength and capability, not weakness, helplessness, or dependence [and] a deep desire to give the best and achieve potential,” (Kimsey-House, Kimsey-House, Sandahl, & Whitworth, 2011, p. 7), coaching is analogous to the Paraclete who walks alongside another, inspiring, motivating (John 14:26, ESV), bringing out the intelligence (Proverbs 2:6-7, NIV) and capacity of the client to solve their own problems (ICF, n.d.). The CCNI (2014) takes the definition one step further and incorporates a perspective based upon a biblical worldview, which offers moral direction and guidance. The co-active coaching model, which is conversation based upon respect, openness, compassion, empathy, and a rigorous commitment…

    Introduction The coach’s role is to develop the coachee’s resourcefulness through skillful questioning, challenges, and support; not advising because when advice is given, the coach implies that he or she knows best and that the coachee does not (Rogers, 2012).

    Observation: As part of my research paper for three days I observed an inclusive classroom for two hours each day.

During my observation I took notes on both the students behavior and the strategies implemented by the teacher. The observation helped me to further evaluate the importance of inclusive classrooms and the influence an educator has on these students.…
